According to this pleasant gentleman here, false positives do not exist.
Oh sure they do, but that doesn't give me any reason to not be worried.
Especially when I didn't get U_Tility from the real source (since it's down), how are we to just assume he didn't infect it.

Because
1. This is their first mirror file of anything that has set off my antivirus
2. Checksums are giving me the OK
3. The original U_Tility does this too
Yeah, I'm having the same issue, it seems to trigger some kind of "suspicous" activity check. It came around the time where I changed how it copies files / applies patches.

Hopefully I'll find a workaround / fix for it in the next version.

Okay then, I retract my original "rude" statement. I hadn't seen that post from Tesa so I wasn't 100% sure if I could trust it.

Is there a way to host covers locally?
There are a few that just show Red X, even after resetting everything.

list of no covers:

Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams
Gunman Clive HD Collection
Minecraft Wii U Edition
Nano Assult Neo
Project Zero Maiden of Black Water
Toki Tori 2
Trine 2 Directors Cut
Xenoblade Chronicles X


@Tesa
If you don't mind my asking, what does your program look at in the wii u game directories to choose a cover from gametdb.com?

I'm thinking that most/all of the RedX blank covers are eShops, but maybe I can fake it out to show the real game's DVD cover without creating any issues with loadiine...

no, he meant the partition table not the file system
windows disk manager says it's MBR but the first sector of the disk is nothing like MBR, so I just assume that if it can't find GPT signature then it'll just assume MBR

No sign of Tesa the past few days, hope all is well.

I was hoping to get some additional scanning added to let this work with missing games/covers.
So far I've noticed a few games that have app.xml&cos.xml but don't show up in the lists at all and a few others that show up, but no Covers.

This is one "Most Excellent" utility and I want to see if it can be the "one-4-all" for my wiiU's.

No, and there likely won't be for a long while until the system is fully broken open so that we can access the per-console encryption keys

Sounds pretty exciting, it is going to be awesome to edit the File-System and it's contents.

Hey so I'm having an issue when trying to update games within U_Tilitiy...
I'm able to transfer the files to my formatted SD card fine, but the moment I try to update on the "Updates" tab or even download a specific update on the "NUS Grabber" tab, I get an error indicated the following:

+ Downloading TMD Failed...
- Downloading TMD...
[=] Storing Encrypted Content...
Downloading Title 0005000E10142700 v16...
Starting download..

On the below log on the Updates tab, I also see many items such as this:
Could not find eShop update for TitleId (Might be up to date or doesn't exist in the eshop): 0005000E1010B100 | Rayman Legends

It never downloads or updates anything and I have disabled my Windows Firewall and Windows Defender.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Welp, I found my problem... I had blocked Nintendo's servers on my FW earlier to prevent the Wii U from updating. After disabling that, the updates worked right away! Hope this helps anyone else that may have stumbled across this post.

I think you may have your router/firewall blocking Nintendo servers addresses

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
